Default DAT Mechanism

I have 4 Refurbished tascam DA-302 decks and most of the problems I've faced all been fixed with a good cleaning, proper lube job and new drive belts.

3 of them are in YouTube video named "3 tascam DA-302 units working together"

The problem I'm facing now is that these belts have become even more rare than the machines themselves.

These will continue to pop up for sale even cheaper than before since the belts are Soo hard to find.

What I would do is, look for a set of replacement belts, then look for a DA-302 with low hours and minimal damage to faceplate to ensure your getting a well maintained unit.

And rebuild it yourself, if you can't make friends with a repair guy. I've heard lots of stories of people paying to get nothing done and loose money along with their machine.

Have an extra Mechanism from a parts machine I can Refurbished for you if you still need it for less than half the price tascam has given you.
